Howard Mudd ‘64

A powerful offensive lineman for the Dales, Howard Mudd plowed
his way to NAIA All-American honors during his two seasons at
Hillsdale before a distinguished career in the NFL. He was named to
the NFL All-Decade Team for the 1960s, and was named First-Team
All-NFL in 1967 and 1968. After his playing career, he went on to
become one of the longest-tenured offensive line coaches in league
history, spending time with the San Diego Chargers, San Francisco
49ers, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs. He hit the pinnacle
of his coaching career in 2006, when he won a Super Bowl
championship as the offensive line coach of the Indianapolis
Colts.
